Bug#229791: apt: StatusFile needs initialization in debSystem constructor
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.21
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
debSystem::StatusFile is never initialized
It works OK when the library is used through apt-get et al, but when you
surclass it and allocate it on the heap, it crashes.
Just adding
StatusFile = 0;
in the debSystem constructor fixed the problem here.
Thanks to all for this great tool :)
